aw man, we were having fun! chuckle.

re the copper based anti seize stuff, a few years ago I bought a jar of this type of stuff as the old 20 yr old heavy grease bottle finally got finished. This new stuff is way thicker than the old, and Ive used it on various bolts and whatnot on my bikes and cars, and it seems to have better anti vibration characteristics just because it is so thick, BUT as the other fellow said, it is pretty messy to deal with and hard to get off stuff.

Ive used Phils bearing grease when Ive done bb work and it seems to me the better choice, partly because it has worked fine for me, and also its the same stuff I use on bearings anyway, so I might be wrong, but it may be better using the same stuff if it gets into the area with bearings.

the thick copper stuff does however seem to stay put pretty well, and I find a small amount goes a long way on threads. I used to put too much on bolt threads and just got myself all dirty and excess that would mess up other stuff.
